Apple Adds AI Password Changes to iOS 27 Passwords App, Targeting Compromised Logins

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · Jun 8

Summary

  • Apple said at WWDC that iOS 27 will let the Passwords app automatically change compromised passwords, shifting a task users previously had to handle manually.
  • The new AI feature is designed to act when saved logins are flagged as exposed in data leaks or reused across accounts, helping users move to stronger credentials with less friction.
  • Passwords, launched 2 years ago as Apple’s dedicated hub for logins, 2FA codes and Wi-Fi credentials, already identifies weak or compromised entries but has so far stopped short of fixing them.
  • iOS 27 enters developer beta later on June 8, reaches public beta next month and is scheduled for a broader release in September.
